We are planning to purchase a 5 acre piece of property next to us, with a small, in need of major repair, house. We want to split the purchase with our son to help him get started, with the idea that he would take the back two & half acres with the house, helping him fix it up to live in. He now has a live-in girlfriend, they plan to marry next year. How can we avoid losing the property in the event the marriage fails?

My response:
Easy. As I see this, you have choices:
1. Keep the property in your name alone; or,
2. Have the two of them enter into a pre-nuputal agreement, specifically excluding the property, in it's entirety, from the marital estate.
Good luck to you.
